There’s soft, and then there’s that. Absolutely ridiculous.

Smithies, dumb penalty.

Smithies is dumb - we knew that.

Richardson should have been shamed off the pitch for his play acting. I suppose not a coincidence that he used to play for St Helens...

If we're giving those "late" tackles as penalties then we should just end the game now.

Deserved yellow card there.

Grand final flashback there - go for dropgoal?

Credit to Smith. Let’s hope these are early signs of s change in his approach.

Just said the same, absolutely bizarre.

Easy 1 point going.


Also why is Byrne above Havard in the pecking order?

I’ll drive Bullock to Warrington.

Need to put the pressure on in the first ten minutes as they are down to 12.

If we can somehow score again at 12-0 we stand half a chance in this game. At only 6-0 I can't see that being good enough to win it.

My concern is that although Cas don't look like scoring, they've had plenty of ball in good space and it doesn't take much to score.

Us on the other hand haven't been near their tryline since scoring a try (itself scored off a monster penalty kick into touch). We don't look capable of getting well into their half off our own backs.

One minute in and our one man advantage is gone.

Fecking unbelievable.

Our young forwards continue to be limited in the skills of our game don’t they?

The needless penalties and dropped ball kill us week in and week out.

Absolute bollox that from Childs.

Child is garbage, Cas are even worse.

And how is that not a professional foul?

Shoite pass by Hastings. Embarrassing.

Disgraceful penalty kick by Smith. An issue we still haven't fixed for next season so far.

A minute before that he had all the time in the world to place a great attacking kick and dropped it 10m from their line. He has a lot of improving to do.

Great try by Marshall, as I said at 12-0 that at least gives us half a chance.

Take the kicking duties away from Smith.

First time we’ve asserted a level of control on a game for months…on one of the hardest places on the league to do so. There’s very much a feeling of Wane about this.

Right edge has been very solid, with Halsall contributing well to that (Bibby excellent). Smithies best game in ages. Bateman doing his thing quietly which is pleasing.

Bibby has been outstanding I think.

A bit of confidence in what we’re doing makes all the difference. By no means panic over, and by no means whatsoever proving of Lam’s worthiness.

Left to right shift, right to left shift, try. Made that look easy.

That knock on against there was absolute rubbish when Watts is looking to offload. Childs has been poor for us in this game. Luckily it’s not looking like it will need to be used for an excuse.

Yes, Halsall and Bibby both very good.
